Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #22: “They Were Called the People of God,” Mosiah 25-28 May 24, 2024

Show notes

May 27-June 2

When I was growing up and first learning about the story of Alma the Younger’s conversion in the Book of Mormon, I always pictured him as a rebellious teenager who hung out with the four sons of Mosiah and together, the five of them wreaked havoc on the Church. If you look closely at the record and put the facts together, you come to know something altogether different.

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #21: “We Have Entered into a Covenant with Him,” Mosiah 18–24 May 17, 2024

Show notes

May 20-26

I have often wondered what was on Abinadi’s mind as the fire that would engulf and kill him burned hotter and hotter. Did he wonder if he’d been a good missionary, because after all, there wasn’t a rush of converts from King Noah’s court.

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #20: “A Light … That Can Never Be Darkened,” Mosiah 11–17 May 10, 2024

Show notes

May 13-19

There are many times in our lives when we just have to stand up for the truth and, sometimes we stand alone. Has that ever happened in your life? Has it happened in the lives of your ancestors or the lives of your children? President Nelson said recently: “Why do we need such resilient faith? Because difficult days are ahead. Rarely in the future will it be easy or popular to be a faithful Latter-day Saint. Each of us will be tested.” (Nelson, Russell M., The Future of the Church: Preparing the World for the Savior’s Second Coming, Ensign, April 2020.)

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #19: “In the Strength of the Lord,” Mosiah 7-10 May 03, 2024

Show notes

May 6-12

Elder Richard G. Scott said, “Help from the Lord always follows eternal law. The better you understand that law, the easier it is to receive His help.” The chapters that we are studying in this episode demonstrate just that.

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #18: “A Mighty Change,” Mosiah 4-6 Apr 26, 2024

Show notes

April 29-May 5

Over our years of studies of the first 6 chapters of Mosiah we have all come to love King Benjamin and his marvelous teachings. We have the whole thing in our minds, don’t we? The aged King Benjamin; the anointing of his son Mosiah to be the new king; the innumerable hosts of tents surrounding the temple and families in breathless attention to their servant King. We have the setting down pat, but what about the setting in our hearts—if King Benjamin were to send a text message to all of us, desiring to know if WE believed the words which he has spoken to US, what would be our answer? And what would be our proof?

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #17: “Filled with Love towards God and All Men,” Mosiah 1-3 Apr 19, 2024

Show notes

April 22-28

Elder Neal A. Maxwell called the chapters we are studying today the “Manual of Discipleship”. Since Mormon could include only the hundredth part of the records he had available to him, this may be the reason he zeroed right in on King Benjamin’s address and gave us so much of it. He knew we in the latter days would want to learn discipleship too.

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #16: “He Worketh in Me to Do According to His Will,” Enos-Words of Mormon Apr 12, 2024

Show notes

April 15-21

I remember, following Enos’s example, of going to the woods to pray in my life, in fact, more than once. Then, I recently was talking about Enos with a friend, and he said he, too, had gone to the woods to pray. I know Scot took Enos’s example, but went to a mountain. I don’t think the location matters because it can be right in our own bedroom, but there is something magnificent to learn about prayer from Enos in his book.

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #15: “The Lord Labors with Us,” Jacob 5-7 Apr 05, 2024

Show notes

April 8-14

One of my favorite olive trees in the entire world is inside the walls of the BYU Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies in Jerusalem. I remember Truman Madsen telling us all about how it was long-lined from a helicopter all the way from the Galilee to the center. They were concerned about the shock of its journey, but they promptly planted it. And then it died…at least they thought it did. We’ll tell you all about it.

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #14: “Be Reconciled unto God through the Atonement of Christ,” Jacob 1-4 Apr 02, 2024

Show notes

April 1-7

When Jacob speaks at the temple in the book named after him, it is with both anxiety and boldness, setting an example for all us who have to teach the people we love in this difficult world. It is not a time to shy away from the truth.

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #13: “He Shall Rise … with Healing in His Wings,” Easter Mar 25, 2024

Show notes

March 25-31

I love the season of spring. I love the newness of life. I love the crocus, the daffodils and tulips just popping through the winter-hardened earth. I love the buds that magically appear on all the trees. I especially love the redbuds and the dogwoods that were the first to show in my home-state of Missouri on our forested farm. Most of all, though, I love the fact that “all things are created and made to bear record of [Jesus Christ]…things which are on the earth, and things which are in the earth, and things which are under the earth, both above and beneath: all things bear record of [Him].” (See Moses 6:63) What an exciting thing to talk about this week: the newness of life that comes and the celebration of Easter—the atoning sacrifice, death and resurrection of our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
